If anyone's still interested, The Bench is fine - and I got laughed at for putting three coats of Danish oil + wax on the frame :) Only damage is a bit to a couple of the other benches - no big deal, thankfully.

Velly easy on this board. :rolleyes: I would be more surprised if a thread stayed on the topic started. :eek:

Glad about the bench. :)

I don't follow any code. Brisbane Lions? Been to Qld and lived in Kuranda once. Not at a commune either. Can't recall seeing any lions or tigers.

Lots of tourists that can't swim at the beaches because most plants and animals up there semm to want to maim or kill you. :D :D :D

If I may at this juncture express somewhat similar sentiments, except of course to say that the plants and animals obviously feel the same way about tourists as the residents!

As for the football... I reckon it's the best thing since sliced bread (any code the game is stupid,)... but you only have to say one team is better than all the rest, and you will really upset half of the population of NSW and Qld, and about 90% of the population of Victoria. (Don't know about the rest of the country, they seem more interested in motor racing, but that's another thread!)

Cheers,
P (who makes his living producing more and more accommodation for tourists to live in, so that football teams have somewhere to go at the end of every season.)
:D :D :D

Glad to hear the bench is fine too! (Will note the Danish oil and wax for the frame just in case!

As for slanging??? is that best done by hand with a micro-sharp wit, or is a less expensive machine more appropriate for cheap shots?

:D :D :D

Cheers,

Sorry to hear about your shed Daryl, hope everything stays in working order for you.

We got the rain but the hail appeared to have avoided the Ourimbah area, a posty mate of mine said there was thick layers of hail still on the ground at 2pm at Forresters Beach

What's rain :confused: Don't get none of that stuff near our place

Trying to get the thread back on track - how have you recovered Darryl? Was there any major damage?

I guess that it is not covered under insurance.

Cheers

Yeah, all in all nothing significant. Everything's dry again now. A few MDF jigs etc got tossed out. A little surface rust here and there. Water stains on some other stuff. Just a giant pain in the ass in the end :)
